want a prestig class

[Belgarath]

I am currently playing a preist of Tempus in a game. He uses a battle axe of course. He has power attack, cleave, and combat reflexes for feats.

I am looking for a good prestige class, preferable one that will allow him to continue raising his spellcasting level. The prestige class should be centered on melee combat. The books seems to be a little light on the warrior cleric prestige classes.

Witch Hunter's good for that; half spellcasting, good BAB, Fort, and Will saves, bonus feats (Power Attack, Cleave, Great Cleave), divine grace, and SR vs. Evil spells towards the end.

Of course, the Tempus-cleric already has Power Attack and Cleave, but hey.

Levels in Divine Disciple and Divine Champion might work better.

If you're LG, you might consider taking some paladin levels and some of the divine feats from CW/DotF. You'd have a ton of turning attempts to turn in for damage with Divine Power (or is it Divine Might? I always mix 'em up), and though the paladin levels wouldn't increase your clerical spellcasting you would get good synergies in a lot of other areas.

It's probably from my old days of playing most of my clerics as bad men who punished worse men ala laying the smack down as priests of St. Cuthbert but I've found most clerical PrCs don't fit my "I'm almost as tough as a warrior but can cast this!" deal.

About the closest would be the Divine Hammer (sp?) from Q. Cleric (and Ultimate Prestige Classes Vol 1). Mainly, I just multi-class cleric-fighter on an almost even basis. Sure, I'm no where near as powerful with spells but... when the greatsword comes down... people know whose the god!
